Establishing a Waste Management Program - Identify & list the waste streams your facility generates; Facilities can use the ENSAT EHS System list as a good starting point. <Link to ENSAT EHS List>
- Characterize the waste stream on the list. <link to ENSAT Technical Resource Dashboard Resources for characterizing waste>
- Determine the point of generation (process/location) for waste that are characterized as hazardous. If containers are staged at these areas to accumulate waste, label the container with the words hazardous waste and place a sign designating the area as a satellite Accumulation area.
- If the facility generates waste characterized as hazardous file the notification required by federal and state requirements.
- Determine the location on the facility where full containers will be accumulated pending shipment off site.
- Using a site map of your facility, mark the location on the map where your satellite, universal, and 90/180/270 day waste accumulation areas are located.
- Place required signage in the area designated in #4 above. Make sure the area has the necessary compliance requirements for a waste accumulation area.
- Transfer full containers from satellite accumulation areas to 90/180/270 day accumulation areas.
- Track the amount of waste that is characterized as RCRA hazardous waste that is generated monthly to document the type of generator your facility is.
- Determine how the facility plans to manage the waste.
